Background Information
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety, durability of clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the NeuGuide device in the treatment of patients with uterine prolapse.
Uterine prolapse is a type of hernia in which the uterus has lost its structural support and falls or protrudes into the vagina or through the vaginal opening. The NeuGuide System for Vaginal Colpopexy is an FDA-approved device used to suspend and support the top of the vagina so that the prolapse of the uterus is prevented or reduced. This device is a minimally invasive surgical tool to facilitate the repositioning and support of the uterus. The purpose of this sudy is to gather additional information about the use and effect of the NeuGuide device.
